Who is the Editor of the ssThor-

Considerable curiosity has prevailed,
especially in newspaper circles, con-
corning the probable outcome of the
internecine fight between the powers
that be of the Tribune. William Ed

come on from Boston to act as an "ar-
bItrator'' or a referee, and the decision
of the pater familias is still awaited bv
an anxious public. Mr.. Blethen went
to Detroit Monday to attend the meet
ing OF the Associated Press. William
Edwin Haskell, the responsible editor
ln-chlef, was asked yesterday afternoon
II there was anything new about the stu
alton, and very pointedly replied: "Noth-
ing that we care to announce" There
have been rumOr to the effect that the
Haskells intend to assert themselves as
virtual owners of the paper, and that
while Mr.. Blethen will be allowed to
have full sway in the counting room,
his connection with the editorial de-
partment will be only through the
speaking tube, and will be limited
TO simple inquiries as to ''space" at such

the paper may arise. The members of
the staff OF the paper are on the qui vive
as to the outcome, and seem to think
that if William Edwin is to have
full charge there will be a general
wedding out of the force and the
importation of more Dustin culchaw.

are divided. each side being confident
that the other is to go, but are careful
not to express opinions which might be

CONGRESSMAN KELLEY.
he is Getting Out a Book and
Talking Politics.

NEW YoBK, Oct. ga morning
paper says: Congressman William D.
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, is in the CITY
revising the last proofs of his forthcom-
ing book on the industries of the South.
A reporter found him last night and
asked him what the Republicans pro-
posed to do in defense of the tariff when
congress recOnyened. He said. among
other things:
1t rests with the majority in the house to
take the initiative in this matter. The presi-
Gent, In view of his duty to offer such sug-
gestons as ne may have to congress, will be
tne method by which such action by the Fiji

himself, Mr.. Cleveland has had a series of

party as he cared to talk with. 1t is said that
me result OF these conferences will not only
be the embodiment of suggestions in the
presidents message to congress. but the sub

be that that wing of the Democratic party
that is called protectionist has not been in
Elted to tdese conferences at Oak View. and
That 1t will not be prepared to indorse the
conclusions which President Cleveland has
accepted. How this may be do not know.
| have heard from many sources that though
MI Carlisle would not permit the question
OF the repeal Of the tobacco taxes to be sub
mltted TO the last session, he and his friends
nave decided since then not only to permit
1t to be submitted. but to favor the repeal i
am told, however. that they will not consetn
10 the abolition of any other revenue tax. If
the repeal of the tobacco tax shall be sub

Leans will undoubtedly accept it, for that re-
auction alone would bring the revenue re-

HI. heWever. the proposition be connected
with one to reduce customs duties, in the
nope OF thereby curtailing the amount of
current revenue, the measure will be resisted
by the Republicans. The Republican atti
>tude on the question might be thus summed
up to its free trade opponents: The object
70 be obtained is a reduction of revenue, and
ans is the only means of avcrting CONNER
cial and financial crisis which may be as
much greater in its tornado-like effects than
these OF 1887 and 1857 as is the magnitude
or the manufacturing, financial and other in
~terests OF the country greater. Yet you pro-
pose to us to make such changes in our tariff
as will by inviting increased importations
embarrass many of our productive industries
while increasing the daily receipts of the
country in spite of the repeal of the tobacco
taxes which you offer.

PRINTERS HAPPY.
The Scale Raised 5 Cents Per
Thousand.

The Scale Raised 5 Cents Per
Thousand.
Minneapolis newspaper printers are
happy, and all because the arbitration
committee, selected some time ago to
adjust the differences between the
printers and the proprietors, have de-
cided in their favor, as they claim. This
committee consisted of County Auditor
Condlt, o. w. Miller, of the Tribune
job office, and ID. r. GetcheIl, of the
typographical union, and, after having
the matter under discussion for long
time, have come to the following con-
clusiOn: The printers give up the adj
tlSementS and cuts, which will now be
set by men working on salary, and will
receive AZ cents per 1000 ems for Or
binary matter. The afternoon scale
will be 81 cents per 1000. This rule
will go into effect Nov. l. The scale
now is IS cents per 1000 for
morning papers and SO cents
for evening papers. Many of the
printers are not quite pleased
at the result of this arbitration and
freely claim that the printers will not
make anything by it. All the cuts and
advertisements went out as bonuses be-
fore, and in the Sunday morning papers
this was big item. 1t is argued by
these men that a printer, now having
only straight matter" to work on, can
not make as big "bills" as he could be-
fore this rule went into effect. This re-
mains to be seen, however. The pro-
prletOr of at least one morning paper
announces himself as highly pleased at
the result, and says he wanted to have
the thing done some time ago.

CHANGING THE INSPECTORS.
What Grain Men Think---Cham.
Der of Commerce Notes.

Ucr OI commerce Notes.
The matter of changing the state
wheat inspectors from one yard to an
other continues to be discussed a good
deal on the floor. The move is gener-
ally condemned by the members, and
here are few opinions on the subject:
Z. ID. Bowen-These commissioners
have Systematically ignored the cham
Der Of commerce, so there is really moth
ing for us to say. | have been on COM
mittees before these state fellows when
the chamber was trying to keep No. l
hard wheat i'll its original purity, but
the advice given by us was never lis
tened to. and the result is there is but
little of the genuine No. l hard to be
found. In this matter of changing the
inspectors l have nothing to say, be-
cause l was not cogniZant of the fact
before.
Jim Cargill-I think it's a regular
farce.
Frank Holiness think, anyway, the
inspection is very irregular.
Capt. OsgOOd-ThiS matter of chang
ing the inspectors is all bosh, especially
of Monday morning with 800 cars on
the track.
S. S. Lint0n-The inspection is not all
what it might be, l know, but then,
every one is liable to error, and i think
some folks are rather hard on the in
spect0rs.
James Marshal!-The inspection is so
bad as general rule that often see on
the tables two samples from the same
car, marked respectively Northern
and ditto.
Peter o. PetersOn-They are all
mixed up; it may work in the end, but
1t will take long time getting there.
G. Sunwall-1 agree with the moving
